I had the Novasure procedure done at age 50 on May '08, and it DID reduce my bleeding tremendously. However, the side effects are debilitating me. I get such gas, bloating and stomach cramps, I feel like I have a soccer ball stored in my abdomen. It will continue to 4-6 days, and is getting worse with each period. My OB has me taking 800mg of Motrin every 6 hours, and it is hardly making a dent in the pain. Can someone recommend an alternative cure, shy of removing my uterus? Looking forward to your reply. Thank you, Dori
